1953 Map of Del Mar

About this map

Solana Beach and Del Mar anchor the northern coastline of this mid-century survey, where the Pacific Ocean meets a landscape of deep canyons and mesas. The coastal corridor is defined by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and the State Highway No 101, serving as the primary arteries for local growth. Inland, the terrain is dominated by complex drainage systems such as Los Peñasquitos Canyon and the San Dieguito River, which carve through the Del Mar Mesa and Carmel Mountain.
